Setting up French TV for UK apps and Freesat

@JohnH

That’s down to the service provider rather than the app

On MyTVOnline even if you had a subscription which allows multiple concurrent lines, the app displays a big popup window on screen if you’re watching one channel as a scheduled recording on another channel is about to start. You can either switch to the other channel and allow the recording to happen, or stick where you are and cancel the scheduled recording.

Saying that, my version of MyTVOnline is v2, whereas I think they’ve released v4 now, so maybe it’s changed since. I wouldn’t know as, of course, I don’t ever use my Z8 for such things

bought from a bloke down the pub

I really miss British pubs…

I was in a Glasgow pub and a guy came in, offering to sell a video recorder (probably stolen from a home nearby). While he was going around the tables, the landlord must have called the polis. They arrived tout de suite and huckled him before he had even completed his tour. Surprisingly efficient.

Haha, I remember people coming around asking if we wanted to buy any meat I never took them up on the offer, but there must’ve been people who did otherwise they wouldn’t have kept doing it.

asking if we wanted to buy any meat

I worked in the Doublet, Park Road for a year or so and the meat sellers arrived every Friday night. They sold enough to keep coming back. I presume it was some sort of surplus from the meat market. Or maybe condemned stuff… None of their regular customers disappeared.

I don’t know that specific app but it doesn’t sound very good and there’s far better out there.

LOL, okay. I mean, it’s actually good and the reason people buy Formuler. Formuler boxes are up there with the NVidia Shield.

Formuler Z11 Pro Max: a very short review

Test Formuler Z11 Pro Max BT1-Edition : une box IPTV très solide, mais pas...

As I say, I’ve never tried it as I normally use Tivimate or Sparkle, both of which fully support concurrent viewing and recording.

So, I understand. I’ve got a Shield but it’s probably way over specified just for streaming and I don’t really do games.

Yeah, I was considering getting one but like you I don’t game these days.

I’ve not tried Sparkle, maybe I should check it out.

I’ve done that in local pubs years back, mine still had its fur or feathers on, if you want it skinned or plucked it cost more.

IPTV illegal ??. ..No of course not .. Netflix, subscriber Cable TV ,Free TV ,SFRTV BBC iPlayer etc etc are all IPTV and perfectly legal when watched by the target audience using a valid subscription ..which will include the decryption access key code . They become illegal when they are viewed by bootlegged software using keys owned by the company licenced to transmit…without their permission. . Watching programmes which are not encrypted is not illegal ..even if one is not the target audience. .. A general principle being that if the owner allows his goat to wander anyone can milk it … .But if you have to pick the lock on the shed to let it wander ..that’s theft. So I have no remorse in looking at satellite BBC TV in France or in Ireland ..

[Gareth]

Blimey are you always this pedantic in real life?

[Dan1]

Yep …
